I love the book of proverbs in the old testament in the bible as it enriches me with many inspirational verses that can help lead my life down a straight and narrow path

Proverbs 1

New International Version (NIV)

Purpose and Theme

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;for understanding words of insight;3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,doing what is right and just and fair;4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]knowledge and discretion to the young—5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,and let the discerning get guidance—6 for understanding proverbs and parables,the sayings and riddles of the wise.[b]

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,but fools[c] despise wisdom and instruction.

I am currently living in Harlingen Texas in the Rio Grande Valley located in deep south Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. I stayed in the Philippines for seven months, from May to December 2012. I learned a lot about the people, culture, food and language in the Philippines and I hope to return and retire someday!
